I have asthma and asked my doctor (who I trust) if I should get the new flu vaccine. She said to get the seasonal flu vaccine as normal (end Oct), then to call her in January to ask about whether or not I should get the H1N1 vaccine. Not because it may have problems - she said that the new strain may change over the autumn months and that would render the vaccine useless. Experts will be able to judge better by the end of the year after seeing how things go in Australia. We (in Greece) have a later flu season because of our warmer climate.
